You will play many adventures and many worlds finding more characters which are little babies for example you start with baby Mario, until you get to the ...  Read the complete review

A review of this game is going to involve the inevitable comparisons the to the previous Game Boy Advance title, and I'm afraid it really doesn't rival Yoshi's Island GBA in any sort of serious way at all! Although it's a fairly solid little platformer, with cute and addictive mini-games, it just feels like the gameplay is shallow when compared to ...  Read the complete review

From the years of Nintendo gone past, Mario has always had his little green dinosaur friend named Yoshi. I always loved him growing up and would always go him when playing Mario Kart, so I was thrilled back then when Yoshi was given his own little game to call his own. From that game on the SNES evolved through Yoshi's Island 64 and now ...  Read the complete review

This is a super little platform game which is a lot of fun to play and features one of my favourite gaming characters Yoshi. The lttle dragon who gets to swallow his enemies and turn them into eggs which he can then fire at enemies or use they to reveal short cuts or collect stars. When Baby Luigi is kidnapped the objective of the game ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of these types of game simply because anything fun and easy gives me a break from my 5 year old screaming for help! However.... this game was very difficult for him, he has had his Nintendo DS for ages now and finds that most games for his age group are pretty easy. Yoshi's Island has poor graphics and very irritating ...  Read the complete review

My son is a massive fan of the original Yoshi's Island so I was bullied into bying this when it was released. However i am very dissapointed with it. The game is too similar to the one before so that much of it is boring for those who have played the original and it is very slow paced. Also, the new characters are supposed to add replay value but ...  Read the complete review

After owning Yoshi's Island on GBA for a few months previous to buying it on the DS, i was really looking forward to all the extras that the DS format could offer. Although still a good game for the kids i was quite disappointed with it. For a start there are none of the useful prizes you could use on the GBA version - such as the magnifying glass ...  Read the complete review

When Buying a Game I look for a few things... Length of Game Play Quality of Gameplay Concept of the Game Multiplayer. Length of Gameplay Although it did take me a few months to complete, I may have completed it faster had I not become bored after an hour of play. I picked it up on a number of ...  Read the complete review

Yoshi's Island for the Nintendo DS, is a simple, kiddy yet, fun experience. Full of color and sound almost mimicking the original Yoshi's Island only added with a few new features (such as switching babies). Original fans and lovers will not be disappointed with this game although is does get very samey. There isn't very much variation in ...  Read the complete review

I held high hopes for Yoshi's island on the nintendo ds - but was disappointed to find the game i knew and loved on the super Nintendo format had been changed into a gimmicky remake with cheap sound affects. The game play itself is decent and would suit children as it is entertaining, the interactive side with the touch screen is fair ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who aren’t fully conversant with the stars of classic video games, Yoshi is a little green dinosaur who eats things. Lots of things. Pretty much anything that gets in his way really. It's a fairly useful skill, given only that as you guide him around one of his various adventures, lots of things get in his way that need eating. ...  Read the complete review
